Maple Leafs 3, Devils 2 | Shootout: Maple Leafs Edge Devils as Coach Mike Babcock Celebrates Milestone

TORONTO — P. A. Parenteau’s shootout goal lifted the Maple Leafs to a 3-2 win over the Devils on Thursday night, giving Toronto Coach Mike Babcock a reason to celebrate his 1,000th N.H.L. game.

James Reimer stopped the Devils’ Reid Boucher, Jacob Josefson and Lee Stempniak in the shootout. Peter Holland and Tyler Bozak missed for the Leafs.

David Schlemko’s disputed third-period goal seemed destined to give the Devils a 2-1 win.

But Bozak beat Keith Kinkaid with a snap shot from the slot with 2:06 remaining to tie the game and set up the shootout.
